Speeding Bullet

I know that thare are 100 topics all ower the internet about that that i want to know. so i apologize when i posted this in the wrong place.

Soo to the point...

I am a big fan of a band called "Bullet For My Valentine", so for many years I've heard "stories" that this band is "emo" (Emotional),Which,we all know that "emo" is a Insult.I mean ppl starting to call me "emo",which I'm not. and all that just because i listening to Bullet For My Valentine,But on Wikipedia it writes that this band is Metalcore and not emo.

Metalcore is a fusion of genres that includes elements of hardcore punk and extreme metal, songs include "screaming" and emotional Lyrics.

maybe, but just maybe, they are Emo Metalcore:

QUOTE

The Emotional metalcore is a subgenre of metalcore which is the introduction of elements typical emo as the voice and lyrics. This sub-genre of metalcore should not be confused with the screamo, although it is similar and inspired by it. The genre as more than the EMO, is caused by am inspired by such genres as precisely the emotional screamo and hardcore.

Just because their music is classified as metalcore doesn't mean it isn't emo, metalcore is a genre, emo is a classification, a grouping it has been placed in because of it's blatent similarities to emo (or scene) culture. The whole classification of emo is based on a stereotype and BFMV fit into that stereotype to a tee so they are therefore considered emo.

Not to mention the fact that they are utter garbage, but I'll leave that at that.

No, this isn't emo. Emo, or emotive hardcore, pretty much has nothing to do with metal or metalcore whatsoever. I was an offshoot of hardcore that sprouted out in the late 80s/early 90s that included cathartic crescendos and had emotional lyrics. Bands like Rites of Spring, Indian Summer, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Embrace are pretty decent examples of early emo. But whatever, ignore history and call it whatever the f*ck you want if that's your prerogative.

Emo is not an insult.Also, Bullet for my valentine is not Emo, My Chemical Romance is. (IMO.)

My Chemical Romance have been branded with the fashion label of emo, which is a complete perversion of what the term initially was, by the ignorant. Emo was originally an off-shoot of punk music, and later indie in the 90s, however sometime in the 00s, it somehow came into use as a sometimes deregoratory term given to a god awful teenage dress style and some mainstream pop music. Bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, Commander Venus, and Pinkerton-era Weezer are what would have been considered emo before the term became horribly and vastly misused.

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head. MCR is just a pop rock band that happened to get labeled 'emo' due to their style.

Obviously if the term has been widely used in that context for a long time, it's not the correct context. The meaning of words changes all the time, emo used to refer to the offshot of punk music that you're referring to, but not it refers to kids with messy hair who wear skinny jeans.
